CTIA San Francisco 2008 isn’t exactly the hardware bonanza that we’d prefer it to be, but that doesn’t mean mobile phone manufacturers aren’t out to show off their newest technology. And, it just so happens that our favorite Windows Mobile smartphone manufacturer wanted to show the world just how cool their HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro handsets really are.
Following on the HTC touch’s success, HTC upped the ante with a pair of HTC Touch successors sporting the highest-end features available today. The slimmer of the two cellphones, the HTC Touch Diamond rocks out with a full VGA display, WiFi, GPS, and 3.2 megapixel camera (with autofocus). The full touchscreen handset boasts a touch-sensitive navigation pane that can be used to focus the camera or scroll/zoom through documents with only the lightest o finger-taps.
The HTC Touch Pro is the Diamond’s slightly bulkier big brother. With a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard underneath the gorgeous VGA display, the HTC Touch Pro combines the best of the touchscreen and physical keyboard worlds. Just like the Diamond, the HTC Touch Pro boasts WiFi, GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel camera in a solidly built package that only HTC’s experience in slider smartphones could have borne.
And, with Sprint now the exclusive US provider of the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro, we’re sure the ailing wireless carrier will be seeing a boost in handset sales this holiday shopping season.
